Not sure, but Im aware that incomplete combustion takes place in candles, as the ratio of oxygen to the fuel is incorrect. Maybe a feed of oxygen could help.

How do you burn candles evenly?
Without constantly watching the flame, there is no full-proof way to make candles burn evenly. Keeping them out of any drafts will help somewhat, and the cost of the candle is an important - and often overlooked - aspect. Cheap candles burn raggedly. High-quality candles burn much more evenly. Best of all are candles that are at least 50% beeswax - but those are very expensive, and hard to find. Still, they burn very, very slowly and evenly with little to no smoke.
Do candles that were in the microwave burn slower or faster than room temperature candles?
Candles that have just come out of the microwave will burn faster because the microwave has already burned it as it is, adding a flame will just continue the process. Whereas if it was room temperature you would have to start the whole process from the beginning.
Which brand of candles burn the fastest?
There must be thousands of different brands of candles. Maybe you meant to ask what type, like paraffin or Beeswax? From my experience with candles, the ones that burn fastest are narrow paraffin candles, especially cheap ones. Birthday cake candles are a good example. A narrow candle has a smaller liquid pool at the top, causing the wick to burn down quicker, and also allows a lot of the wax to run down the sides of the candle, which starves the wick of wax and consumes it faster. Also, the size of the flame is not necessarily larger on a bigger candle. Flame size is dependent upon the size of the wick, and the liquid wax's ability to saturate and climb it. The wick only begins to shorten when there is not enough wax available to keep the wick saturated. A thinner candle generally has a higher Flame/mass ratio, allowing the wax to be consumed faster.

How safe are candles?
candles are safe but you have to be careful not to get too close to them to where your hand could touch the flame. Many people have done that before just to see what it would do and many found out the incorrect way.Mackenzie
Why is the smaller diameter candle burns faster than bigger diameter candle?
candles burn as much wax as the wick can bring to the flame. It is typically a constant amount of wax being burned. Smaller diameter candles have less wax and therefor run out of wax to burn sooner.
